10/18/09: Obama endorsed in swing states!

Obama leads in major newspaper endorsements over McCain by 68-18! In terms of readers, he leads 9 million to 1.7 million. Most importantly, he is picking up the major newspaper endorsements in the critical swing states - Miami Herald, Philadelphia Inquirer, Denver Post, Atlanta Journal-Constitution, The Salt Lake Tribune (!).

In Missouri, where he had the largest rally of this election today, with over 100,000 people in St. Louis, BOTH the major papers Kansas City Star AND St. Louis Post-Dispatch endorsed Obama!
Another vital point is that he has already picked up 12 papers that endorsed Bush in 2004, and looks set for a lot more, if the 3:1 edge holds up (in 2004, Kerry and Bush nearly tied).
